SterlingnBooty
Junior Guinea Pig
Hello GP forum.
I'm commonly known as Sterling from Ontario, in the small animal community. I generally rescue rats but miss Booty came to me yesterday the lone left over of a BYB trio. I haven't been able to get a clear history on her breeding past. She is on pregnancy watch just to be safe. She's 10 months old which is the only sure fact I have.
We named her Booty because of her cute little bum patch. We were also supposed to rescue a male skinny but no word on him yet. Hopefully we can get him and neuter him and introduce them.
She's sweet, a little small for 10 months which makes me suspect early breeding. She couldn't decide last night what to eat first. She didn't come with anything except her very dirty C&C cage and a bowl and water bottle which I chucked because of the absolute build up of crud. Yuck.
I haven't had a piggy since I was younger (I'm 28). I have never dealt with a pregnant pig, just rats and rabbits.
Any suggestions or hints to look for. I read some of the pregnancy threads and know how long to wait. I have an amazing exotics vet that is great with my rats. I imagine he'll be just as great with her.
I know the rat forum loves photos so I will assume the piggy lovers also will.
Miss Booty
As well as I will introduce myself with my ratty boys Odin, Tyrion and Boots. Find its nice to have a face to the name.
